As we are getting deeper and deeper into the time of year when games matter the most, as far as determining the rankings that will decide who goes to tournaments, there are a number of important games for teams in all regions. The game with the biggest implication takes place in St. Louis where the NC #10 Arch Rival team will try to fend off NC #11 Ohio and preserve their slippery grasp on the top ten in a must-win situation for both teams (in case you missed it see this article on the situation in the North Central). Likewise, Providence at #10 in the East tries to hang on against the SC #1 powerhouse Kansas City. The Rocket City Rumble in Huntsville, Alabama looks like a fun tournament featuring a lot of mid-ranked South Central teams- without knowing the later round match ups we’ll just pick an overall winner for that one. The Outfit losing to unranked Tri-City would hurt them quite a bit, but none of us see that happening. The rest of the games listed here will be good, but probably won’t shake things up too much no matter how they turn out.
